Value for money is second to none! If you are willing to overlook the tasteless colour scheme and rather tired looking cabins! The crew and entertainers are easygoing and friendly and always try their best to provide top service! Best cruise if you are travelling with small kids or lots of noisy, easygoing and fun loving friends and family! The food is great for the money you pay, we always enjoy.

The ship has a wonderful décor. Comedians and entertainment in the bars is excellent. Adults only area is fabulous. Many dining options, drinks are reasonable in price. Would have given 5 stars but I think the cabins are a bit tired and not keen on colour scheme and I did find the meals more on the warm side than hot. Overall 4 stars and I had a great time!

It's a shame that they don't have a limit on the amount of children onboard, as they ran wild & created havoc. The 1st 2 times we sailed on her was no problem (Out of Hawaii & out of Vancouver) but the cruise out of Sydney was awful because of the children (Princess & P&O have a set ratio of children to adults) this is a shame because everything else onboard was great. Maureen, Glenbrook NSW on 03 July 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

My very first cruise was fantastic 5 stars for everything, ie experience cabin dining entertainment and service. Can't wait to save up for next cruise. Loved it all. Donna, Balaklava on 30 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We had a wonderful time because we were careful not to eat too much and went to the gym most days. It was the best holiday we have had in years and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. I just wished I had thought about taking clothes & toys for the kids in the villages though. They have so little, yet were very happy. Dianne, Wantirna Sth on 28 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Wonderful cruise. Carnival Spirit is one of the easiest ships we have traveled on to find your way around. Even in the rough seas the ship was really quite stable. The food your wonderful and such a selection. Every staff member on board made us feel welcome and special, even though they deal with hundreds of people each cruise. We would recommend and hope to cruise on board again. Wendy, CONDON on 27 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We chose obstructed view cabin 4103, was very comfy with opening window no balcony. We enjoyed the sound and smell of the sea and could watch the waves from our bed. Just brilliant choice at bargain price. We sailed to Tasmania and our cabin steward was delightful, and enjoyed our choice of gratuities.

We found the ship a little outdated. There wasn't many quiet inside places to sit and relax, most were thoroughfares for people to walk through. The adult section out the back of the ship was great if you could get a seat, always very crowded. We have cruised a bit so comparing it to other ships we were a little disappointed.

I love their wi-fi packages and the ability to access internet in every cabin. The formal dining experience is more than just food - each meal offers a variety of entertainment along with excellent service. Love the variety of the casual dining area. Shore tours are excellent and good value. Very happy with art auctions on board. One incredible full on holiday. Taking kids and grandchildren on next cruise. Carnival offer the best kids clubs.

Awesome holiday - you can do as little or as much as you want. Excellent staff, so friendly and knew us by name by the second night, we loved going to the restaurant every night to have a laugh and be entertained by our table staff. Can't wait to travel with carnival again soon. Debbie, Queanbeyan on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Value for money cruise. Family orientated.
staff excellent.
There were not sufficient day time activities.
Also the main dinning room only opened for Breakfast /Brunch on 4 out of 6 days at sea (They opened each night for dinner) we like our meals in the main dinning. Macina, Perth on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

What a fabulous ship. There was a variety of quality food available ALL day. Entertainment was good. We were able to use the baby sitting service (for a reasonable fee) and enjoy some adult time of an evening. The kids were usually comfortably asleep when we went to pick them up. As a family there was lots to do and the slides had the kids laughing for hours! Full, relaxed and entertained. Definitely value for money!

Best price, wonderful service

A better travel agent you wouldn't find.
Terri has been very helpful in arranging a cruise tour plus extension for my group of 8. The cruise tour presented by 'cruise tours' meets our needs perfectly and the cost is very reasonable. I love that we can pay for our travel in instalments which prevents a mad rush as the end date gets closer. Terri is very approachable over the phone and keeps in touch by email. Altogether a great experience.
